I have to be honest. I've grown weary of people who have a negative relationship with Scripture. It leads to a negative attitude and an outlook regarding everything. And there are too many who are always looking at the faults in other people. They're sin-obsessed, constantly looking for evidence that God is not present, rather than looking for God's abiding presence within others, or declaring His promises over their lives... because God abides within them too, but sometimes that needs to be called out.
Grace, the empowering presence of grace, it helps us to understand how God's heart works and how to see how He sees. And that means whenever we come into contact with difficult people, we know and we recognize that we are a gift. We are a present to them to speak and declare God and His presence into their lives to be a blessing for them.
We are not here to guilt, to shame, to bully or somehow force people into Heaven or into the Kingdom. We're also not here to curse anyone. It amazes me that we don't seem to have learned anything from Christ response to the disciples in Luke 9, starting at verse 51. Look it up.
Grace empowers us to show and speak the love of God into people's lives and to declare His promises upon them. Out of the abundance of our hearts, our mouths speak into each other's lives. So, is what is coming out of your heart... grace? Is it love? If that's not what's coming out of your mouth, then what's in your heart?
I'm talking about what grace is and what it means for us and to us and consequently to the world around us. Grace is the very ground that we walk on. Grace is God for us and in us and who we are in Him. So, my prayer today for you is that as you watch this, the Holy Spirit begins to reveal the fullness of God's grace.
You know, throughout the Word are promises for all of the empty spaces of people's lives. And our job is to bring those promises to life by speaking to them and releasing God's love and releasing His promises into their hearts and into their lives and into their minds, that they might have an encounter with God that can turn those things into a reality for them.
We are here to express the love of Jesus. And Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life that sets people free. So, I pray today that each person watching this begin to have encounters with the Father based around the promises that He's given us, that we would know and would be able to show others through the Spirit of Revelation. And that we would partner with God to extend grace so that He can fill their empty hearts and restore what's missing in their lives. We want their lives to be filled Father, with Your fullness, Your grace and Your promises.
Just think, think about those things. And I pray that the grace of God extend in your life more that you begin to see it, because it's already there, but that you begin to see it so that you can extend it to others so that they can come to understand what God is really, really like. And the love that He really, really has.
